Thread-legged Bug

Empicoris sp.

Description:

Tiny, delicate insect with long, thread-like legs. Grasping forelegs for catching and holding prey. Black, white and gray coloration. Two of these were found stalking around on my moth sheet. This one captured an unlucky Salt and Pepper Microcaddis. To give you an idea of size, the prey item was 4-5mm

Habitat:

Suburban yard. Attracted to a blacklight (perhaps).
